The Blue Danube

There's nothing like playing a great classic like The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss! Our team has had a lot of fun writing four different adaptations for piano solo of this world famous waltz which has practically become Vienna's second national anthem. Choose your piano sheet music for your level of playing skill, with or without reading aid and for those of you who have trouble reading music, don't forget our Level 1 easy piano sheet music with note names instead of symbols. When the original choral composition of The Blue Danube was first performed in 1866, it received a lukewarm response from the audience but Strauss adapted an orchestral version for the World's Fair in Paris a year later and it is this version that has become so well known today. It boosted in popularity after appearing in Stanley Kubrick's 1968 epic science fiction film 2001 – A Space Odyssey. Are you up to playing the complete waltz? Only 15 pages!
